2, Gaskets
3. O-r.ings
4. Lock washers
.
5. Cotter pins
6. Nylon nuts
Depending on location:
1. Sealant should be applied to gaskets.
2. Oil should be applied

[Front wheel free-roller method]
1. Set the free roller securely on the floor under the front wheels
by matching it to the wheel base and front tread.
2. Place the vehicle softly on the tester and free roller.
3. Start the engine, and engage the clutch softly at a low speed

od or front wheel jack-up method, secure the vehi-
cle to prevent forward and lateral movement by
attaching towing hardware (chain or wire) to the
front and rear tow hook or tie-down hook.
BRAKE TESTER CHECK
Caution
. To stabilize the drag force of the viscous coupling,
conduct the brake test after the speedometer test.
1. Place the wheels to be tested (front or rear) on the roller.
2. Shift itit0 NEUTRAL.
3. Drive the tester roller and check.

INSTALLATION OF MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO SYSTEM
If a rkobile two-way radio system is installed improperly or if a high-powered type is used, the EGI system
and other systems may be affected.
When the vehicle is to be equipped with a mobile two-way radio, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna at the farthest point from control units.
2. lnstatt the antenna feeder as far as possible from the control unit harnesses (at least 30 cm [ If .8 in 1).
3. Ensure that the antenna and feeder are properly adjusted.
4. Do not instali a high-powered mobile two-way radio svstem.
